Thanks for this info, Mark  --  never thought to check the series!       
PRCo PCC Interurban 1714 became a favorite of mine kind of After The 
Fact.       Famous Photographer Ed Miller took a photo of it from behind 
crossing one of the high level bridges on its decent toward Charleroi  
(used as an PRMA calendar photo)  and 1714 was also under Drake trestle 
when the three PERC cars made their infamous trip over the same on 
07-Feb-1954!!!!!!!

YES!!!       1765 is a fascinating car inside Ray's place.       Always 
wanted to do the same thing  --  glad someone was able to accomplish it.
